Track a monotonic policy version across optimizer steps, scheduler updates, and rollout results. Serialize synchronous generation with weight acknowledgements and invalidate reusable prefix KV entries so cached samples remain attributable to the behavior policy that generated them.
- Propagate stream closure and stop-sequence termination into scheduler cancellation
- Defer active KV release to the scheduler owner and close metrics safely
- Expose lifecycle counters and cover waiting, active, and allocation-race cleanup
- keep training attention on dense 4d tensors
- use packed 3d tensors with KV cache for inference
- extend CUDA rotary embedding to packed 3d inputs
- adapt torch, CUDA and FlashAttention backend dispatch
- store page-table, request-row, and cache-location indices as int32
- preserve CUDA graph replay with bit-exact logits and KV cache coverage
- improve B=1 decode latency by 1-6% across 1K-32K contexts on L20
- Eliminate core/ directory into cache/, runtime/, network/ subpackages plus flat modules
- Split cache.py (647 lines) into cache/{buffer,strategy,pool}.py by layer
- Add explicit ContiguousStrategy, make AllocationStrategy a real ABC
- Move TaskCacheState to cache/strategy.py, drop string forward references
- Rename api/ to network/, server.py to app.py
- Move sample.py into runtime/ alongside executor and graph
- Simplify TaskCacheManager.__init__ to single pool param
- Expose pool.strategy and pool.req_pool as public properties
- Fix KVCache import in attention_backend.py (TYPE_CHECKING guard)
- Fix steady-state decode reading uninitialized position_ids on first step
